What Is Longevity Medicine
Longevity medicine — not just living longer, but living better.
Longevity medicine is the evidence-based medical specialty dedicated to understanding the biological processes of ageing and intervening to slow, reverse or prevent age-related decline. It goes beyond the traditional medical model — which waits for disease to appear before treating it — and instead focuses on optimising health during the decades before disease develops.
At Apgujeong Hana Clinic, our longevity clinic is grounded in science rather than trend. Every intervention we offer — from comprehensive biomarker assessment and hormonal optimisation to IV therapy and metabolic medicine — is supported by peer-reviewed clinical evidence. Dr. Shin Hyun-won, our board-certified endocrinologist and Medical PhD, brings specialist-level expertise in hormonal health and metabolic medicine to the longevity field, where these two disciplines are at the centre of evidence-based anti-ageing intervention.
For expats and international residents in Seoul — often facing high stress, disrupted sleep, reduced physical activity and nutritional changes compared to their home country — longevity medicine provides both a health baseline assessment and a practical, medically guided plan for maintaining and improving health over the long term.
Biomarker-Driven Assessment
Advanced blood panels measuring the key markers of biological ageing — inflammation, metabolic health, hormonal status, nutrient deficiencies and cardiovascular risk.
Hormonal Optimisation
Thyroid, testosterone, oestrogen, DHEA, cortisol and IGF-1 — hormonal decline drives much of the physical and cognitive deterioration associated with ageing. Optimising these is central to longevity medicine.
IV Longevity Therapy
NAD+, high-dose vitamin C, glutathione and bespoke longevity IV formulations — administered under medical supervision with individualised protocols based on your biomarker results.
Personalised Protocol
No generic longevity programme — your protocol is built entirely around your biomarker results, health history, lifestyle and specific goals. Reviewed and adjusted at regular follow-up appointments.
The Science
The hallmarks of ageing — what longevity medicine targets.
Modern longevity science has identified specific biological processes — the hallmarks of ageing — that drive age-related decline. Evidence-based longevity medicine targets these processes with clinical interventions that have measurable effects on biological markers of ageing.
Chronic Inflammation
Inflammageing — chronic low-grade inflammation — drives cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, cancer risk and metabolic dysfunction. Measured by hs-CRP, IL-6 and other inflammatory markers.
Mitochondrial Decline
Mitochondria — the cellular energy generators — decline in number and efficiency with age. This drives fatigue, muscle loss and cognitive decline. NAD+ therapy targets mitochondrial function directly.
Hormonal Decline
Testosterone, oestrogen, thyroid, DHEA, growth hormone and melatonin all decline with age. These hormonal changes drive body composition changes, reduced energy, cognitive decline and cardiovascular risk.
Metabolic Dysfunction
Insulin resistance, elevated blood sugar and impaired glucose metabolism accelerate ageing at the cellular level — driving diabetes, cardiovascular disease and neurodegeneration.
Oxidative Stress
Imbalance between free radical production and antioxidant defences accelerates cellular damage. Glutathione — the body's master antioxidant — depletes with age and can be restored via IV therapy.
Cognitive Decline
Memory, processing speed and executive function decline with age — driven by inflammation, hormonal changes, vascular factors and mitochondrial dysfunction. Many of these drivers are addressable.
Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia)
Progressive muscle mass decline from the mid-30s — accelerating after 50. Driven by hormonal changes, reduced protein synthesis and declining physical activity. Strongly predictive of longevity outcomes.
Cardiovascular Ageing
Arterial stiffness, endothelial dysfunction and elevated cardiovascular risk markers. The leading cause of death globally — and one of the most modifiable through metabolic and lifestyle intervention.

Longevity Biomarkers
The key biomarkers we measure for longevity.
Longevity medicine is only as good as the measurements that guide it. At Apgujeong Hana Clinic, our longevity biomarker panel goes significantly beyond a standard annual health check — measuring the markers that research has identified as most predictive of biological ageing and long-term health outcomes.
Inflammatory Markers
hs-CRP, homocysteine, IL-6, ESR — chronic inflammation is one of the most powerful drivers of biological ageing and age-related disease.
Metabolic Health Panel
Fasting insulin, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, advanced lipid panel — metabolic dysfunction accelerates ageing at the cellular level.
Full Hormonal Panel
Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4), testosterone, oestrogen, DHEA-S, cortisol, IGF-1, prolactin — comprehensive hormonal status for age-appropriate optimisation.
Micronutrient & Vitamin Panel
Vitamin D, B12, folate, magnesium, zinc, ferritin, CoQ10 — nutrient deficiencies are common, measurable and correctable drivers of fatigue and accelerated ageing.
Cardiovascular Risk Markers
Lp(a), ApoB, oxidised LDL, hs-CRP, homocysteine — advanced cardiovascular risk markers beyond standard cholesterol panels.

Who Is This For
Who benefits from longevity medicine.
Adults Over 35 — Proactive Health
Biological decline begins in the mid-30s — often without noticeable symptoms. Longevity medicine identifies and addresses early signs of metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory ageing before they become clinical problems.
High-Stress Executives & Expats
Chronic workplace stress, travel, sleep disruption and reduced exercise are among the most potent accelerants of biological ageing. Longevity medicine provides a structured, medical approach to managing these demands on your health.
Chronic Fatigue & Brain Fog
Persistent fatigue, brain fog and reduced cognitive sharpness are not inevitable consequences of ageing — they are often driven by identifiable and treatable hormonal, metabolic and nutritional causes.
Unexplained Weight Gain & Body Composition Changes
Progressive muscle loss and fat accumulation despite reasonable diet and exercise is a hallmark of hormonal and metabolic ageing — addressed directly through our longevity metabolic assessment and treatment protocol.
Cognitive Optimisation
For individuals who want to preserve and optimise cognitive function — memory, processing speed, executive function — longevity medicine addresses the key drivers of cognitive ageing before decline becomes noticeable.
Health-Conscious Adults
You already exercise and eat well — longevity medicine provides the clinical measurement and precision intervention layer that takes health optimisation beyond what lifestyle alone can achieve.

Longevity medicine and anti-ageing medicine overlap significantly but are not identical. Anti-ageing medicine historically included many unproven interventions. Longevity medicine — as practised at Apgujeong Hana Clinic — is grounded in peer-reviewed clinical evidence and focuses specifically on the measurable biological processes of ageing. Every intervention we offer has a scientific basis — we do not prescribe or recommend unproven treatments regardless of how popular they may be in wellness circles.
NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body that is essential for energy production, DNA repair and cellular communication. NAD+ levels decline significantly with age — by approximately 50% between age 40 and 60 — contributing to reduced cellular energy, impaired DNA repair and mitochondrial dysfunction. IV NAD+ therapy directly replenishes cellular NAD+ levels, bypassing the limitations of oral supplementation. Research supports its role in improving energy, cognitive function and metabolic health.
A standard annual health checkup identifies existing disease and major risk factors. Longevity medicine goes further — measuring the biological processes of ageing before they produce clinical disease. This includes advanced inflammatory markers, detailed hormonal panels, insulin resistance assessment, mitochondrial function markers and cardiovascular risk markers that go well beyond standard cholesterol testing. The goal is not just to detect disease earlier, but to identify and reverse the underlying biological processes that cause disease to develop in the first place.
The optimal time to begin longevity medicine is before symptoms of ageing appear — typically from the mid-30s onwards. Many of the biological processes that drive age-related disease begin decades before clinical symptoms develop. Establishing a biomarker baseline in your 30s or 40s allows early identification of metabolic, hormonal and inflammatory changes and intervention at the stage when they are most reversible. That said, longevity medicine provides significant benefit at any age — even those in their 50s and 60s can make meaningful improvements in their biological age markers.
The frequency depends on your individual protocol. An initial consultation and biomarker assessment establishes your baseline. IV therapy sessions are typically monthly or quarterly depending on the treatment. Biomarker review appointments are recommended quarterly initially, then every 6 months once your protocol is optimised. Your specialist will recommend a personalised schedule at your initial consultation.
WhatsApp (+82 10-2950-7551) is the fastest way. You can also call 02) 3443-7550 or book via Naver Booking. Same-week appointments are usually available. We are at 328 Apgujeong-ro, KFC Building 3F, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Mon–Fri 09:00–19:00, Sat 09:00–13:00. Arrive fasting for your first longevity consultation.
